Default Oil Dipstick tube broke today when I went to check the oil... searched but the post i found had no

working pictures. Are there some better instructions somewhere? I am assuming I can lose oil through this broken tube, so I probably won't drive the TT until I fix this. Hope it isn't too hard to fix!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1507483.phtml">Link I found</a></li></ul>

Default Its a very easy fix.

First you have to remove all the old orange plastic around the metal tube and in it (yes in it) then you can put some kinda cap on it or duct tape and drive it until you get a new one (not for a long road trip jus to the dealer and back). Thats what I didnt anyway. You lost very little if any oil from it breaking if you didnt start it up. I think you then just carefully slip the other one on.

Default Mine broke recently. Great price on Ebay if your not in a hurry.

I'm thinking about buying a second one soon just so I don't have to wait next time it breaks. MGH

Default Probably cheaper at the VW or Audi dealer...>>

I think we paid $5 last time we picked one up...No shipping or hassle..

They break so often, they're always in stock..

Default PSA: I've got one on my garage shelf, just waiting for this blessed event.

they're cheap; add one the next time you get an oil filter or other service part.

That is all. ~john
